Mexican Carnitas

Past few weeks been crazy with family stuff, work and travel and have not had time to post or do much cooking. I apologize for all the great cooks I know I missed.
Anyhow, decided to make traditional Carnitas and this is how it went. Four pounds pork shoulder cubed, one and a half pounds of pork belly cubed, along with all the bones and Kosher and fresh ground. In a pot with chicken stock to simmer in its own fat and juices for about three hours. Last half hour with the top off to reduce quite a bit.

Made two toppings for tonight, first one is a version of Pico Di Gallo Verde. Made with Tomatillo's, red onion, Chili de Arbols, fresh mint, cilantro and garlic.
Second was Guacamole with heavy diced plum tomato presence, white onion, cilantro, Kosher, garlic and more Chili's

Carne in the CI on the Genny, using lid up to stir and then lid down. You add some of the juices and fry them until evaporated and starting to brown with some nice burnt bits in the mix
